You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive - Brad Paisley
Album: Part II
Written by: Darrell Scott
Verse 1:
Dm F C G
In the deep, dark hills of eastern Kentucky
Dm F Bb
That's the place where I trace my bloodline
Bb F C G
And itās there I read on a hillside gravestone
Bb A7 Dm
You will never leave Harlan alive
Verse 2:
Well my granddadās dad walked down Katahrins Mountain
And he asked Tillie Helton to be his bride
Said, wonāt you walk with me out of the mouth of this holler
Or weāll never leave Harlan alive
Chorus:
F Bb C F
Where the sun comes up about ten in the morning
Dm Bb F Bb
And the sun goes down about three in the day
F Bb C F
And you fill your cup with whatever bitter brew youāre drinkinā
Dm Bb Dm
And you spend your life just thinkinā of how to get away
Verse 3:
No one ever knew there was coal in them mountains
ĪTil a man from the Northeast arrived
Waving hundred dollar bills said, Iāll pay you for your minerals
But he never left Harlan alive
Bb A7 Dm
Verse 4:
Granny sold out cheap and they moved out west of Pineville
To a farm where big Richland River winds
I bet they danced them a jig, laughed and sang a new song
Who said weād never leave Harlan alive
Instrumental Break: (same chords as verse)
Verse 5:
But the times they got hard and tobacco wasnāt selling
And ole granddad knew what heād do to survive
He went and dug for Harlan coal and sent the money back to granny
But he never left Harlan alive
Repeat Chorus (last chord changes from Dm to F)
Last Chorus:
F Bb C F
Where the sun comes up about ten in the morning
Dm Bb F Bb
And the sun goes down about three in the day
F Bb C F
And you fill your cup with whatever bitter brew youāre drinkinā
Dm Bb Dm
And you spend your life digging coal from the bottom of your grave
Last verse:
Dm (one strum)
In the deep, dark hills of eastern Kentucky
Dm (one strum)
That's the place where I trace my bloodline
Dm (one strum)
And itās there I read on a hillside gravestone
Dm (one strum)
You'll never leave Harlan alive
